  • Is Jo Jo Siwa A No No?

    IS JO JO SIWA BOWS A NO NO?

    Jo Jo bows have been banned in multiple UK schools .

    The coloured bows are not allowed in UK schools because they do not comply with some uniform codes and are ‘distracting’ to teachers and other students.

    The massive hairclips became popular after being worn by social media star JoJo Siwa.

    Does a hair accessory really affect how a child learns or distract their class mates?

    We asked parents in schools around Essex to tell us their views.

    Jenny Clark said “Like every trend, it will pass. Let them express themselves, it’s only a bow. My daughter wears them and I thinks they look ridiculous but know it’s harmless. Trends come and go!”

    Stephanie Gold said “That should be banned from ever where over priced rubbish jo jo is just a no no” ugliest thing i’ve ever seen, if i were a child at school i would be distracted and unable to concentrate due to the utter ugliness  .

    What’s your thoughts on the Jo Jo bows? Whether you like them or not do you think it’s over the top to ban them from schools or believe it does go against the uniform code?

    Are children at your childs school allowed to wear them, if not what reason have the school given for their decision.

    “This is my daughter and her best friend. They’ve been BFFs since kindergarten. They are in 2nd grade now. My daughter got up the other morning for school and asked that I fix her hair like her best friend wears her hair. She wanted tiny braids just like her.

    I didn’t give my daughter braids that morning. Instead, I told her we didn’t have time. That was a lie. It was MY fear of my daughter getting teased due to the stereotypes that we place on each other and how others perceive them that kept me from giving her braids that morning.

    My pastor just spoke this past Sunday morning of intentional and unintentional racism. I am by no means intentionally racist. I have dear friends and coworkers I love that are of many ethnicities. But was MY fear of my daughter being stereotyped a form of UNintentional racism?! I WAS CONVICTED! How dare I push MY fear, my UNintentional racism, onto my daughter who sees no color, no stereotype, no hate, no “white girl hairstyle” or “black girl hairstyle”? She only sees pretty hair on her best friend. She shows love to ALL people without hesitation.

    My daughter got her braids this morning. They weren’t perfect…I tried my very best. And she was SO PROUD! Her smile was from ear to ear this morning and she couldn’t wait to get to school to show her best friend. She wanted to take a picture with her best friend this morning because they were twins.

    I know so many people who claim to not be racist. Maybe you aren’t intentionally being racist but are there some decisions you are making or thoughts that you are having that may be considered UNintentional racism? We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves! Let’s do a better job of showing this love. #loveoverhate #colorblind #besties #checkyourself #unintentionalracism

    John 13:34-35 (NIV)

  • Prove Your Loyalty With Hairy Legs

    A soldiers in the parachute regiment, currently based in Colchester Essex has caused an online debate with his controversial idea to keep his wife faithful and loyal.

    Lisa Watts 27, originally from Swindon took to a Garrison girls Facebook group (a support group for army wives to chat and get advice).
    Lisa posted in the group and said that last year when her husband was away for three months on training he had made her do something to prove that she wasn’t cheating whilst he was away. 

    Her Husband Stephen 29 also from Swindon is due to go away for six months after Christmas. 
    Stephen expects his doting wife and mother to their two young children, Oscar 4 and Autumn 5 months old  to go unshaven whilst he is away.

    This means allowing her armpit, leg and vagina hair to go uncut, trimmed, waxed or shaven.
    When he returns from action he demands to see her body to prove her loyalty.

    The post had over 4000 replies from members the majority of which were against the idea.

    Sandra Daly commented on the post and said “This is control, he’s sick, surely he should trust you, time to file for divorce”.
    There were hundreds of comments similar to this, however some people thought it was a good idea.

    Tanisha Fitzgerald said “I kind of like the idea, it’s like unwrapping a present, plus think of all the money you’ll save on razors etc and at least it is winter, the extra hair will keep you nice and warm”.

    What’s your thoughts, would you go unshaven to prove your loyalty?

  • Being A Gingerist Is As Bad As Being a Racist?

    Being A Gingerist Is As Bad As Being a Racist?

    Should being ginger or a red-head be classed the same as members of other groups, such as ethnic or religious minorities, homosexuals or disabilities?

    Gingers make a convenient target for the innate human desire to single out and ridicule people who are “different”.

    Anti-ginger bullying may be a particular problem in schools, but few schools make it a priority, guided by the law and codes of practice to concentrate their efforts on tackling racism, homophobia and disability prejudice. Indeed, unlike hatred based on race or sexuality, however, there is no legal recognition that anti-ginger prejudice exists. 

     Hair colour doesn’t feature among the list of “protected characteristics” in the 2010 Equality Act. The law attaches no special opprobrium to words that incite anti-ginger hatred, as it does to the stirring up of religious hatred or homophobia.

    Anti-ginger prejudice may seem trivial to those who have never experienced it but it affects some people badly knocking their confidence and even causing people to self harm, there has also been cases of people being attacked and even killed because of the colour of their hair.

    According to urbandictionary.com a gingerist is a person who puts down any person with ginger hair no matter what kind of person they are. 

    Should the words ginger nut, ginge, carrot top, Chucky etc be classed as a hate crime the same as the N word or the nasty shortened down version of the word Pakistani.

    Being A Gingerist Is As Bad As Being a Racist?

    Have you ever mocked or called someone a name just because of their natural hair colour? Do you think it should be classed as a hate crime?

    Are you a natural red-head or a ginger? Does it offend you being called such names?

     

  • Doctors Won’t Tell You This – Cheap Way to Get Rid of the Head Lice Almost Instantly!

    Head lice are real nuisance and usually children are affected by them. Therefore, when a child complaints to their parents about itching head, the first thing that comes to a parents mind is lice. Lice are small insects without wings that are fed on blood, and are very difficult to remove.
    In fact, lice are very contagious; if one child has it then it is most probable that others will get it as well. They can be easily transferred to other children especially if they go to school or kindergarten. Adults may also get them, but children are the ones who most frequently suffer from them. These insects are not so harmful, but they are annoying which can cause inflammation and itchiness of the scalp. However, if you not remove them on time, they will multiply like crazy and eventually that will lead to a severe infection.
    There are many anti-lice shampoos available in the stores which are not 100% effective, and as well as very expensive. You can comb the hair for hours and again some of these horrible insect will be left hanging on the hair, and start the process of multiplication. Likewise, these over-the-counter lice products contain harmful chemicals which may enter into the bloodstream of the child and lead to more serious health concerns.
    Do not worry; we have an effective homemade remedy that will remove these nasty parasites from the hair instantly.
    Things that you will need:
    Mouthwash

    White vinegar

    Lice comb

    Shower cup/plastic bags

    Few towels

    Directions:
    First, you need to wash the child’s head with the mouthwash, and then wrap it in a plastic bag. After that, cover its head with a shower cap. Let it stay like that for 1hour. The mouthwash helps in keeping lice away thanks to the strong smell because lice cannot stand the smell of spearmint.
    After the one hour has passed, remove the shower cap and the bag, and wash the hair with vinegar. The white vinegar will eliminate lice eggs.
    Again, cover the head with a bag or a hat for additional one hour. After one hour, remove the bag or the hat, and wash the child’s hair with a regular shampoo. In the end, comb the hair with a lice comb.
    For best outcomes, you can spray the hair of your child with a mouthwash before going to school or nursery .
    Do not hesitate to try this natural treatment; it is very effective providing you with amazing results!

  • Are You Sure You’re Not Racist 

    An American  mum is going viral for a powerful letter on what she calls “UNintentional racism.” The mum, Brigette Diez Kerr, says she’s never been “intentionally racist,” but when her 7-year-old daughter asked for braids to match her best friend, the mum was suddenly convicted.

    Read Brigette’s story below:

    This is my daughter and her best friend. They’ve been BFFs since nursery. They are in year 3 now. My daughter got up the other morning for school and asked that I fix her hair like her best friend wears her hair. She wanted tiny braids just like her.

    A baby boy born in 2015 still has social media talking about his special features.

  • Nit Nurse Come Back

    Should the nit nurse be brought back?

    One mother has been trying to start a campaign to bring them back?

    She has met with mixed views.

    Some feel it is an invasion of their childs rights and privacy.

    Where as other parents welcome it back, many parents are fed up of their child continuously coming home having caught nits off of their class mates.

    We asked several mums their thoughts on it:

    “I feel if it’s acceptable to check if my child is over weight and send a letter home if they are, then why can’t they check for nits, it’s no more an invasion of privacy then the height and weight check”.

    Another said “I don’t want my child to be embarrassed in front of her class mates if she did have them”.

    We asked just over 200 parents and found that 127 would welcome it back if it were done discreetly and no embarrassment is caused to child and parent.

    Whats your thoughts let us know in the comments.
